This CHRISTmas website has been updated on December 18, 2013 and many more pages added. I hope that you and yours enjoy them as much as I did when I created them. Two of the pages are ones that I created back when my sissy, Pam, lost her daughter Heather. One is dedicated to Pam and the other is for Amanda, Heather's big sister. I also believe that they may be of benefit to others out here going through the same thing. On one page there are three links to pages that you can print out and your child can color. Enjoy and God Bless each of you!

I want to wish you a very Blessed CHRISTmas and the bestest and healthier New Year. Remember, Jesus is the reason for the season. Not just on CHRISTmas...today, tomorrow and always...Jesus is the reason for ALL the SEASONS. Keep God and Jesus in your hearts and you will never have anything to fear. My prayer for you is that you will have a very happy heart as you celebrate Jesus.

The above was made for me by Pam aka Sissy aka Silk aka Sassy. Thank you so very much, I will cherish it always and I want it share it with everyone. You can visit her great website at Sassy's World you will not regret it and will come away with an inspirational experience you won't soon forget. Thanx again Sissy!!

"RECIPE FOR HAPPINESS"

1 quart of joy and gladness
Pack of folks and kindred
Dash of CHRISTmas Spirit and
toss in some laughter;
Large amount of giving
and spread it gently.

Read directions in the Good book
and apply them very carefully.
Garnish with human kindness on
cyrstal leaves of cheer;
and we will have a batch of
CHRISTmas to last all
of the coming year.

THE FIRST NIGHT OF CHRISTMAS

'Twas the first night of CHRISTmas a long time ago
The hillside was peaceful, the moon was aglow.
The world couldn't know from what happened before
That men would remember this night evermore.
The sheep on the hillside ~~ their days journey over
Were dreaming sweet dreams of a field full of clover.
The shepherds were watchful while guarding their flock
The earth was their pillow, the stars were their clock.
Then all of a sudden, they jumped at the sight
Of the sky all ablaze with a heavenly light.
They huddled in fear, then they started to rise
As the lightening-like flash tore open the skies.
The heavens were split by the silvery ray.
The dark disappeared and the night became day.
And lo, at the end of the rainbow of light
Appeared then an angel to banish their fright.
The angel brought news of a birth in a manger
And bade them to hasten to welcome the stranger.
For Mary had just given birth to a boy
Whose coming would bring so much comfort and joy.
A choir of angels looked down from the sky
And heavenly voices were heard from on high:
Peace be on earth and good will to all men.
The Savior has come on this night, Amen.
The heavenly angels then faded from sight.
The sky once again turned from day to night.
The shepherds all quietly rose from the ground
And hurried to go where the child would be found.
As they reached Bethlehem and the inn was in sight
From the barn came a trickle of half-hidden light.
It led like a path to a soft little bed
And shone very tenderly on a child's head.
The child in the manger was sleeping so sound
His eyes were still closed, as the shepherds stood round.
From that instant of grace on that night long ago
Thousands of years would be warmed by the glow.
Guided by light from a bright shining star
Came a pilgrimage led of three kings from afar.
They were dressed in the finest of satins and lace.
Their complexions were that of an Orient race.
The three wealthy kings were wise men and proud
But they went to the Christ child and solemnly bowed.
They came bearing treasures of myrrh, incense and gold
To that sweet little child, still not very old.
The star in the sky twinkled down from above
The world was awakened to kindness and love.
The past was forgotten, the future was bright
And the spirit of CHRISTmas was born on that night.
